    Darren Clarke @ 25/1 would be a very good each way bet, get 1/4 odds on top 6 places. He's found a bit of form in the last few weeks and wasnt far off in the Scottish Open last week.

    What about our own Brian McElhinney from Donegal, the British Amateur Champion. His odds are 1500/1!!!! Might be woth a euro :D

    That's a pretty good site...

    I just did a wee each way on Singh at 16s...quarter the odds, 6 places

    I would also fancy Clarke. He seems to be in form at the moment and if he gets a hot streak with the putter he will come close. So many of his birdie putts last weekend ended up within 3 inches that with a bit more luck he would have won.

    On the Tiger thing I think he is playing really well atm. His driving has really improved and if he can continue to find the fairways this week he will be there or thereabouts on sunday afternoon.

    Mickelson, Els and Singh havent really been in good form recently but you cant write them off.

    As for outsiders, anyone has a chance going on the previous two winners. The only person I would not put money on is poor old Thomas Bjorn. :)

    I see Tiger has got off to the perfect start, -6 for the first round, two shots clear at the moment. If he keeps up this kind of form he'll be untouchable.

    Garcia is on a bit of a charge. Maybe he could do it but i think Tiger is going to win it easy
